I am guessing this is sort of ProgrammableWeb 2.0.
Disintermediation is the common thread in all of this.
Will be interesting to see solutions arising for developers to monetize their open-source contributions. Pull Request = Push Demand so perhaps there should be a cost attached to that especially knowing that AI will eventually train on it.
There was also a mini bubble around social media aggregators and RSS feeds culminating in sites like gada.be
I see the dynamic as follows (be warned, cynical take)
1) there are the youth who are seeking approval from the community - look I have arrived - like the person building the steaming pile of browser code recently.
2) there are the veterans of a previous era who want to stay relevant in the new tech and show they still got mojo (gastown etc)
In both cases, the attitude is not one of careful deep engineering, craftsmanship or attention to the art, instead it reflects attention mongering.
Before crypto, don't forget the ProgrammableWeb and all the mashups that ensued, with programmableweb.com shutting down in 2023.

Was low code platforms ever hyped to a tiny fraction of crypto and ai?
They were when we called them 4GLs.
You mean things like Ruby, Python, Java, SQL that are ubiquitous today?

You're telling me big data went away?
Right in the bin next to your DevOps.
